Bitter

Music

Final Fantasy III - Phantom Forest (Piano)

Life... a meaningless struggle for the souls of the lost... They all had grown weary of such an existence long ago, but little things--coincidental and important things--kept them going. Some things were greater than others, and some were so small that the outside would consider them insignificant, but whether large or small, they were enough to keep the desire for life a surviving spark throughout the game of trial, tribulation, and endurance.

Seconds, minutes, hours and days, weeks, months, and years had all lost their real meaning and significance, melding together into a single illusion that called itself time, which they all still kept close watch over, even after understanding its falseness. What was this thing that governed the lives of the masses so? It was the illusion of time that tried the patience, put thoughts and actions into motion, withered the mortal, and made the steady suffering so much more unbearable. It was a despicable thing, yet so heavily relied upon that it became impossible to erase, and difficult to disregard.

It was life that dragged them all into its own deranged and twisted game. It was time, in all of its illusory splendor, that took them through and through into the continuous helix spiraling downward into nothing. It was time and life together that wrenched all things violently to their end, only to continue the eternal cycle of futility that called itself existence.
